You know, last time I listened to one of you guys I was wrong. Fool me twice and all that… Lemme just ask the boy myself.
@dedmaxsearchhistory? You hearing this? *gestures upward*
*he nods slightly* y-yeah, i guess.. *hic* .. Carlos i-i
promise not to rob anymore stores…*looks down at Max* You sure, buddy? YOu’re telling me the truth, right? *his voice is still soft, but it still demands honesty.*
y-yeah.. i’m sure… *he yawns and rubs his eyes* a promise is a promise…
I would love to see you keep it, Max. I think you should take some time to yourself now… you look tired.
i’m not tired.. i’m just… sad *he glances away, mumbling* i don’t want to be alone…
Why don’t you want to be alone, Max?
i don’t trust myselfi just don’t…Do you want me to sit in your tent with you? I do think a nap would do you some good. But if you’d rather not be alone, I can oblige you there as well. That is – if you’re okay with it. I know I’m not actually your dad, and I just realized how what I suggested sounds…
*he chuckles slightly and nods* thanks Carlos.. *he dries his eyes and gets up*
*Carlos stands up as well and brushes off his coat and legs. He then offers Max a hand to hold*
*he hesitates before taking Carlos’ hand and walking back to his tent, yawning ocasionally*
*Carlos is silent, not sure if Max wants to talk about anything else right then. They would go at Max’s pace.*
*he was quiet for awhile til they were almost at his tent, his voice still almost a whisper* do you remember the shadow people?
*he frowns. Yeah, he remembered.* Yeah, Max. Did… has something happened?
